Professional Snowboarder’s 228 Sq. Ft. Tiny Cabin

This pro snowboarder’s 228 sq. ft. tiny cabin is about 3 miles away from the nearest road so you have to get to the cabin using a snow mobile.

The owner/builder (Mike Basich) is a retired pro boarder that still loves to snowboard and uses camera drones (and more) to record himself while snowboarding.

One of the best features of the cabin is that it has a hot tub and a ski lift. Yes. He keeps it simple, straight to the point, and in line with his passion.

His electricity comes from solar panels, his heat from firewood, and water from melted snow. So it’s safe to say he’s off the grid. He also has a tiny house on wheels he uses to travel around the country with his dog, snow mobile, cameras, and boards.

Hey, if I were a man, and looked that good, I’d wear a Speedo, too! The cabin is really beautiful and cool! I love the stove and kitchen area, and the tiny house is uniquely shaped. Wish I could have seen more pics of the inside. Again, very good-looking man, very good looking cabin…yes, in that order!

Yes! Yes! Yes! The personal ski lift! That has always been in my mind though much less extreme, perhaps a tow rope with a long gently sloping hill for easy skiing, sledding, and tubing. Throw a tiny pool facing the stream out back and I would be set. Tiny house, tiny bathing suit. It fits. 😉

Computer issues prevent me from seeing the last three videos and maybe that is where there would be more pix of the interiors of his dwelling, which is what I would really be interested in……kitchen, bath, sleeping, hot tub…..

I wouldn’t have an issue traveling around in his smaller mobile TH, rough looking as it is, but having a weenie roast on a hillside on gravel/rocks is just a bit too primitive for me. Not my type of ambiance. ‘Course the trade-off is one gets to do it in his/her underwear and not get arrested.

Re: Speedo photo
I know most of you guys go to great lengths to avoid looking at another guy’s junk, but if you had just taken a second you would have known that he is most definitely NOT wearing a speedo! If you look closely (as this gal did) you’ll see it’s a pair of tighty greenies (as opposed to tighty whites), lol.

Yes, how “childish” to “hate” on Mr Tiny, uh, Ssusage. Now in the interests of maturity and egalitarianism, I’m sure we’ll have some lingerie shots of women with their tiny houses next week? If not, why not? Equality and all, no?

Oh my gawd people…do you all freak out when the Sears catalog shows up in your mailbox too? There are underwear ads there and in many major retailer catalogs that are far less racy than Victoria’s Secret – which by the way is not considered pornography, even in the bible belt states. The guy is just standing there, not posing seductively…get over yourselves. Unless you all wear bloomers to the beach or advocate for “your women” to wear burkas, this entire complaint thread was just ridiculous. In a sad and juvenile way.

Do you actually pull this tiny house with a Ford F-150? I ask because I have a goal in building a tiny house, but have to buy the truck first and have been looking into F-150’s and am hoping they will pull a tiny home with no problems.

I was amazed at how that stone structure was built, I would think it took a lot of work to get all that stone, all to that spot, and then to work them into a building that you are free forming I would guess… I just want to say as a Wall Street Journal reporter that guy could have been a little better in his choice of wording, when reporting this story… But it’s not about him it’s about the house, and I think it was a job well done…!
